Gravestones are very useful in RuneScape. Their main use is to keep the items that are dropped whenever you die. When someone dies, they have a certain time limit to return to their gravestone and retrieve their items before it degrades and the items are lost forever. The time limit depends on which gravestone you own.

The Basics

Only the person who died can retrieve their items. They can do this by walking over their gravestone and picking up the items dropped upon death. By right-clicking on a grave, you are able to repair it or bless it. Repairing lets the grave last up to five minutes longer while blessing lets the grave last up to a full hour more, depending on the prayer points used. To bless a grave, you need to have a minimum of level 70 Prayer. Repairing other's graves costs three prayer points. Blessing other's graves costs prayer points related to the number of minutes until an hour left for their grave, minus 10 prayer points.

Another interesting feature about gravestones is that if you are a member and buy a grave from Blasidar, that grave will show up on a freeplay world!
